US Ambassador on Smoleńsk: 'We gave everything we had'

US ambassador to Poland Paul W. Jones said that the US already handed all the information it had regarding the Smoleńsk plane catastrophe. “The United States did everything we can to provide assistance and information, which was fairly limited. But we contributed to the original investigation and we ensured that that same information, we were able to provide was available to Polish authorities after the change of government here. So we don't see anything more that we are able to do. We've provided everything that we had and could provide,” Jones said. Jones added, that he was asked by the Polish side, numerous times during his tenure about the accident and whether the US has any information about it, but he explained that the US administration has given everything it knew to the previous Civic Platform (PO) government, and later to the current Law and Justice (PiS) cabinet. “It was such a tragedy for Poland and the Polish people to lose the President, the First Lady. To lose all the 96 people on that plane is something hard for any other country to grasp or understand,” Jones told the Polish Press Agency.
